Canela is as unique looking as she is sweet. This 20-lb cutie is just wrapping up her puppy phase, which means you get the best of both worlds: playful, bouncy fun *and* a smart, eager girl who is ready to learn. 💛 Canela **loves** other dogs and truly shines with a playful canine buddy. If there’s a dog in the home who enjoys romping, wrestling, and zooming around the yard, Canela will be in heaven. She gets along with all dogs but is very play-oriented, so a playful match is ideal. 💛

This smart cookie is very food motivated and eager to please, making her a dream for anyone who enjoys training. Puzzle toys, games, bones, and learning new things are right up her alley. She would thrive in a home that enjoys walks, enrichment, and keeping their dog’s mind busy. Once her needs are met, she’s perfectly happy to entertain herself with toys or curl up for a cozy nap beside you. 💛 She’s working on her house training and does not have accidents with consistent outings. She also is fairly comofrtable in her crate, sleeping through the night (with only a brief 15-minute bedtime protest to plead her case for more fun). She rides well in the car in her crate and likrd being outdoors—unless it’s too cold, because this little lady gets chilly easily! Canela would do best in a home with kids who understand her playful, zoomie energy. She takes direction beautifully and will be an absolute rockstar for a family who wants a fun, trainable, affectionate companion. She’s a bouncy, joyful girl who just needs a moment to feel comfortable — and once she does, her loving, cuddly personality shines. If you’re looking for a playful sidekick, a training partner, and a sweet cuddle buddy all in one adorable package, Canela might be your perfect match.
